I'm having a bit of trouble on the stage two install. I had no trouble
using my CD-ROM on the base installation, althought it is remotely
possible that the drive has failed since then (I sure hope not!).
The first indication that something was wrong can be seen on the attached
.png file "BadCD.png
Note also that a "legacy-free" system usually isn't just USB-only, it
is also cdrom-only. (In fact, if I can figure out where woody
boot-floppies went, I want to try and hack on a USB-only (or better
yet, one supporting either) boot cd for that very reason...)
Note also that (1) cdr media is che
All,
I want to install Debian on a Mac, and can get my Power Macintosh 8500/120
to the Open Firmware boot prompt, but cannot find any documentation that
tells me how to boot the "rescue floppy" from the boot prompt to start my
Debian 2.2 installation. I'm guessing it's something like "boot fd:0"
Hallo Kenney,
The boot-floppies are indeed for all architectures.
But for this question, debian-powerpc is a better place to ask.

Welcome to the powerpc boot floppy fiasco. The rescue floppy will
only work on New World macs, and yours is an old world. The
boot-floppy-hfs.img file is the image of a bootable floppy for the
old world macs for install purposes, but it has a keyboard issue and
doesn't work without some modifica

That's just not true. The rescue floppy is not meant to be booted off
of on this architecture at all.
Um, yeah, that must be what I meant. Actually, what I meant is
this: the docs constantly talk about booting the rescue floppy for
this that and the other. But the "rescue" floppy for the powerpc
port is an ext2 file system, and doesn't boot at all on old world
macs, and I just assumed that it mu

just my crazy suggestion, if you can't get the keyboard to work right
for the rootdisk prompt, what about changing it to wait 10 or 15
seconds for a rootdisk insertion and then continuing? would that be
difficult/messy to implement?
Well, the standard Mac way of doing things is t
